Good morning, this
is Topher and Gabriel from Washington Church of Christ, bringing you a positive
Message Minute.
Here's a positive
direction for all you parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, coaches, and
friends out there who will be following one of America's great past times this
spring and summer. Consider following
Paul's words in Ephesians on the baseball field as he says,
"Let no unwholesome talk come
out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building others up…" -
Ephesians 4:29a
I'm coaching
Gabriel's little league baseball team, which means I'm charged with teaching
these young impressionable boys some baseball and life skills. I know, I know, I know, our current culture
tells us that it is ok to direct, yelling, insults, distractions, and things we
call "chatter" toward kids and adults to diminish their performance
(as long as they are on the OTHER team).
Yet, if we believe the Bible gives us direction for what we do on the
baseball field and off of it, then we might be convicted in heart by the
direction, "Let no
unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building
others up."
Now, about those
umpires…
I challenge you to
consider changing your voice this season in sports and in life to an
encouraging one that seeks only to build others up. You'll be glad you did.
